- IP Internet Protocol
- an MS 102-104 determines (308) whether to subscribe to the MBMS service identified in the service announcement.
- the MS conveys (310) to infrastructure 132, and in particular support node 116, a request to subscribe to the MBMS service.
- the subscription request includes an identifier associated with the MBMS service, preferably the routing address associated with the MBMS service.
- an MS 102-104 may automatically respond ⁇ o the announcement based on a program stored in the one or more memory devices 208 or based on information programmed into the memory devices by a user of the MS.
- the MS may be programmed to affirmatively reply to any subscription announcement with a subject category of "sports" or “soccer” and/or subject matter/event title that includes the phrase "World Cup.”
- at least a portion of the information included in the service announcement may be displayed on display screen 214 of user interface 212, such as "World Cup Game No. 1" along with the date and time of the event.
- the MS may further display on display screen 214 instructions on how to subscribe, such as text or a softkey that the user may select or a key of a keypad that a user may depress to generate a response.
- a user of the MS may then subscribe to the event by selecting the indicated text, softkey, or key.
- the MS conveys a subscription request to support node 116 indicating a desire of a user of the MS to subscribe to the service, that is, the event. Included in the response is the mobile ID uniquely associated with the MS, allowing support node 116 to determine the source of the response.
- support node 116 determines (314) whether the subscribing MS, that is, MS 102, is a first MS to activate this specific MBMS service on this support node. In response to determining that MS 102 is the first MS activating this specific MBMS service on this support node, support node 116 conveys (316) a message to server 122 requesting to participate in the MBMS service. In one embodiment of the present invention, the request may inform of the support node's 116 desire to participate in the MBMS service.
- the request may inform of the MS's 102 desire to participate in the MBMS service or the support node 116 and the MS's 102 desire to participate in the MBMS service.
- the message includes an identifier associated with the MBMS service, preferably the Service ID and/or the routing address associated with the service, and a support node identifier that identifies the support node submitting the request, such as a routing address of support node 116.
- the message may further include a mobile ID associated with subscribing MS 102.
- server 122 Upon receiving the message to participate in the MBMS service from support node 116, server 122 determines (320) whether this is a first, in time, request received by the server to subscribe to the MBMS service, that is, to join a group associated with the MBMS service or event. When server 122 determines (320) that this is the first request to subscribe to the MBMS service, server 122 generates (322) a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier (TMGI) associated with the service.
- TMGI Temporary Mobile Group Identifier
- communication system 100 provides a centralized repository for all TMGIs and centralized control over the creation, assignment, distribution, and de-assignment of TMGIs, thereby avoiding possible duplicate assignment of TMGIs and maximizing reuse of TMGIs.
- Server 122 stores (324) the TMGI in a database 128 included in the one or more memory devices 126 of the server to produce a stored TMGI, which TMGI is stored in the database in association with information relating to the MBMS service, such as the Service ID and/or routing address associated with the MBMS service.
- Server 122 further creates (328) a subscription group associated with the event by storing in the one or more memory devices 126 of the server, preferably in database 128 and in association with the TMGI, the support node identifier, such as a routing address of support node 116, that submitted the request.
- Server 122 may further store the mobile ID associated with the responding MS, that is, MS 102, when the mobile ID is available to the server.
- server 122 determines (320) that an earlier request to participate the MBMS service has already been received, such that an associated TMGI has already been generated and a subscription group associated with the MBMS service has already been created
- the server retrieves (326) the associated TMGI from database 128 and stores (328), in database 128 in association with the TMGI and the corresponding subscription group, the mobile ID associated with the responding MS and a support node identifier (support node ID), such as a routing address of support node 116, associated with the support node servicing the MS.
- support node ID support node identifier
- support node 116 determines, at step 314, that MS 102 is not the first MS activating this specific MBMS service on this support node, support node 116 conveys (318) a message to server 122 informing of the MS's request to participate in the MBMS service.
- Logic flow diagram 300 then proceeds to step 326, where server 122, in response to receiving the message informing of the MS's request to participate in the MBMS service, retrieves the associated TMGI from database 128.
- Server 118 further stores (328) in database 128 in association with the TMGI and the support node identifier associated with the support node servicing the MS, the mobile ID associated with the responding MS.
- server 122 In response to generating or retrieving the TMGI associated with the MBMS service, server 122 conveys (330, 332) the TMGI to the responding MS 102-104 via the support node, that is, support node 116, servicing the MS.
- support node 116 locally maintains the TMGI in the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node and the support node has not yet stored the TMGI, then in response to receiving the TMGI from server 122, support node 116 stores (333) the TMGI, in association with the mobile ID corresponding to MS 102 and the Service ID associated with the MBMS service, in the one or more memory devices 120.
- the TMGI may be conveyed to MS 102 via any cell broadcast format, such as via a paging message over a paging channel, via a short message service (SMS) message, of via a multicast message.
- server 122 conveys the TMGI to support node 116 and the support node then conveys the TMGI to MS 102 in a modified version of an Activate MBMS Context Accept Message.
- Activate MBMS Context Accept Messages are known in the art and are described in 3GPP TR 23.846.
- the Activate MBMS Context Accept Message is modified to include a TMGI data field in which support node 116 embeds the TMGI received from server 122.
- the message conveying the TMGI may further include the mobile ID associated with the MS subscribing to the event, allowing the MS to determine that it is an intended recipient of the TMGI.
- support node 116 may locally store a TMGI in the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node.
- a first MS such as MS 102
- the support node receives a TMGI from server 122 in response to conveying to the server a request to participate in the MBMS service, as is described above.
- Support node then stores the received TMGI in the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node in association with the Service ID corresponding to the MBMS service and a mobile ID corresponding to the first MS 102.
- the support node may merely retrieve (315) the TMGI from the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node and convey (332) the TMGI to the MS, that is, MS 103, without obtaining the TMGI from server 122.
- support node 116 further stores (317) the mobile ID associated with the later subscribing MS, that is, MS 103, in the one or more memory devices 120 in association with the TMGI and the Service ID corresponding to the MBMS service.
- an MS such as MS 102, receives (334) the TMGI
- MS 102 stores (336) the TMGI
- TMGI in a table 210 in the one or more memory devices 208 of the MS.
- the TMGI is stored in table 210 in association with the IP multicast address and the APN associated with the MBMS service.
- all functions described as being performed herein by an MS 102-104 are performed by the processor 206 of the MS, and all functions described as being performed herein by support node 116 or server 122 are respectively performed by processor 118 of the support node and processor 124 of the server.
- FIG. 4 is a bit layout 400 of a TMGI in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the TMGI comprises a first, Group Identifier (Group ID), data field 402 in which is embedded a Group Identifier (Group ID) associated with the subscription group or MBMS service.
- Group ID may be derivative of other information identifying the service, such as the Service ID corresponding to the MBMS service, the routing address associated with MBMS service, or the routing address and the APN associated with MBMS service.
- the Group ID may comprise such information or, when bit space is limited, comprise a shortened version of such information.
- server 122 may apply a hashing function to the information in order to determine a shortened version of such information.
- the Group ID may be any identifier that uniquely identifies the service, such as an event name such as "World Cup Soccer 2004, Game 1" or an event name, date, and time.
- the TMGI may further comprise a second data field 404 in addition to first data field 402.
- Embedded in the second data field 404 is an identifier associated with each communication session of one or more communication sessions associated an MBMS service. That is, an MBMS service may broadcast an event via multiple communication sessions. For example, an MBMS service may concern a broadcast of a sporting event, such as a soccer game. Rather than provide a continuous broadcast of the event, the MBMS service broadcasts the event via multiple communication sessions, wherein each communication session of the multiple communication sessions concerns a separate aspect of the event, such as a video clip or text concerning each of multiple goals, periodic score updates, and/or periodic game highlights.
- Each communication session of the multiple communication sessions may then be associated with a unique identifier, such as a Session Identifier (Session ID) or a Sequence Identifier (Sequence ID) that is generated by MBMS content provider 136 or by server 122.
- a first communication session such as a first goal
- a second communication session such as a second goal
- Session IDs are not necessarily sequential
- Sequence IDs are sequential.
- the Session or Sequence ID is then embedded by the network element generating the ID in a data packet associated with the communication session.
- a subscriber to the MBMS service is better able to detect a retransmission of the MBMS data, and hence the subscriber can decide whether to receive the retransmission.
- the TMGI which may include a session ID or a sequence ID, is conveyed to RAN controller 114.
- RAN Controller 114 then broadcasts the TMGI to the MSs 102-104 subscribed to the service.
- an MS 102-104 Upon receiving the TMGI, an MS 102-104 parses the TMGI to obtain the Session ID or Sequence ID and stores the obtained ID. When the MS detects that the Session ID or Sequence ID is already received (from its memory), the MS may reject the reception of the coming MBMS data of this session, or query the user for a decision as to whether to receive the data.
- server 122 Upon initiation of the event corresponding to the MBMS service, server 122 receives (338), from MBMS content provider 136, a set of data packets comprising payload data associated with the event, such as a score, a highlight, and/or a video clip. In response to receiving the set of data packets, server 122 conveys (342) the set of data packets to RAN controller 114 via support node 116, with the Service ID and the TMGI associated with the MBMS service embedded (340), by the server, in the data packets. Server 122 may further include with the conveyed data packets a 'Session Description' associated with the payload included in the data packets.
- the 'Session Description' is a word or a phrase that is descriptive of the payload included in the set of data packets, such as "goal 1," “goal 2,” and so on.
- the 'Session Description' may be embedded in the set of data packets by server 122.
- MBMS content provider 136 may embed the 'Session Description' in the set of data packets.
- RAN controller 114 In response to receiving the set of data packets and associated Service ID and TMGI, RAN controller 114 sets up (344) a communication session with each MS 102- 104 that is currently serviced by the RAN controller and that is subscribed to the MBMS service. RAN controller 114 sets up the communication session in accordance with well- known MBMS communication session set up techniques, except that as part of the process of setting up the communication session the RAN controller additionally conveys to each MS the TMGI assigned to the subscription group and may further convey the Session Description describing the payload.
- the step of setting up (344) the communication session may include the following steps.
- RAN controller 114 broadcasts an MBMS notification, via transceiver 112 and downlink control channel 136, to all MSs serviced by the RAN.
- the first notification includes the Service ID associated with the MBMS service, the TMGI assigned to the subscription group, and the Session Description associated with the received set of MBMS data.
- each MS that is subscribed to the MBMS service and is in idle mode wakes up.
- each MS 102- 104 subscribed to the MBMS service further checks the one or more memory devices 208 of the MS to determine if the Session Description included in the notification matches a Session Description maintained in the one or more memory devices.
- each MS in the cell that is subscribed to the MBMS service and that receives the first notification conveys a connection request, typically a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection establishment request, to RAN controller 114 via an access channel.
- RRC Radio Resource Control
- RAN controller 114 sets up a communication session by establishing a PTM communication channel or PTP communication channels with each responding MS, whichever the RAN controller has determined to establish.
- RAN controller 114 Upon establishing the PTM communication channel or PTP communication channels, RAN controller 114 then conveys (346) the set of data packets to the subscribing MSs 102-104 via the established channel or channels.
- each MS 102-104 Upon receiving the set of data packets, each MS 102-104 stores, in the one or more memory devices 208 of the MS, the Session Description included in the set of data packets and displays the Session Description and the payload, such as the score or video clip, included in the set of data packets on the display screen 214 of user interface 212.
- server 122 de-assigns (348) the TMGI to the event, thereby freeing up the TMGI for assignment to another event.
- the server 122 further informs (349) the support node of the de-assignment of the TMGI and the support node deletes the stored TMGI from the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node.
- Logic flow diagram 300 then ends (350).
- server 122 does not de-assign the TMGI until after an expiration of a first, predetermined period of time after the event.
- server 122 allows MSs subscribed to the event to obtain replays of MBMS data and re-conveyance of missing MBMS data during the predetermined period of time.
- server 122 may not de-assign the TMGI until one or two days after the event has ended.
- the predetermined period of time is up to the designer of communication system 100 and may vary based on the type of event being broadcast, such as a sporting event, concert, speech, and so on.
- the first period of time may be dynamically determined.
- server 122 may periodically query support node 116 as to whether any requests for replays or re-conveyances of MBMS data associated with the event have been received from a subscribing MS.
- server 122 determines that no requests for replays or re-conveyances of MBMS data have been received during a second period of time, then the server de-assigns the TMGI associated with the event.
- Server 122 determines the first and second periods of time by reference to a timer 130 included in the server and coupled to processor 124, which timer is used by the server to count down the first and second periods of time. In order to provide for replays of MBMS data and for re-conveyance of missing
- communication system 100 further provides for an automatic re-conveyance of event- related data packets by MBMS content provider 136.
- MBMS content provider 136 By re-conveying the data packets, each MS subscribing to the event is provided with an opportunity to capture missed data packets or to replay the information of earlier received data packets.
- the re-conveyance may occur at any time after the initial conveyance of the data but preferably is sufficiently distant in time from the initial conveyance to capture most late joiners to the group and to allow for those who have temporarily left a coverage area of communication system 100 to return to the system's coverage area.
- MBMS server 122 that generates and assigns/de-assigns Temporary Mobile Group Identities (TMGIs) to the MBMS services, communication system 100 minimizes a likelihood of duplicate assignment of TMGIs. That is, by centrally locating the TMGI generation and assignment functions in MBMS server 122, communication system 100 avoids possible duplicate assignment of TMGIs and maximizes reuse of TMGIs.
- MBMS server 122 generates a TMGI in response to receiving a request to participate in an MBMS service.
- MBMS server 122 assigns the TMGI to the MBMS service and stores the TMGI, in association with information relating to the MBMS service, in a database 128 in the one or more memory devices 126 of the server to produce a stored TMGI.
- MBMS server 122 further conveys the TMGI to a source of the received request, thereby providing for a distribution of the TMGI to a mobile station subscribing to the MBMS service.
- MBMS server 122 retrieves the stored TMGI from the one or more memory devices 126 of the server and conveys the stored TMGI to the second mobile station.
- a support node 116 may locally store, in the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node, a TMGI generated and distributed by the MBMS server.
- the support node may retrieve the TMGI stored in the one or more memory devices 120 of the support node and convey the locally stored TMGI to the second mobile station.
- the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” or any variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
- the use of relational terms, if any, such as first and second, top and bottom, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions.
